Team EuroRambleRanchers presents: Super Trait Fighters



Right Arrow - Advance Army

Left Arrow - Retreat (Hold to Escape Battle)

Space - Attack with Trait





In the mid 1800's Gregor Mendel began his genetic studies on green and yellow peas. Little did he know that in messing with pea genetics, he opened not only the door to understanding genes, but also prompted a freak accidental massive evolution among the peas. Now, 200 years after his experiment, his peas continue surviving and evolving and adapting, ever waging a war against the other color of pea.



Supertrait fighters are the green peas, our heros, who gain new evolutionary traits by winning battles against the yellow peas, and lose traits when they lose battles. Every trait has great advantages in battle, but can have disadvantages too. Certain traits are weak against other traits, and like in nature, the Supertrait Fighters have no control over the traits they gain or lose.


Press right arrow to charge the enemy, left arrow to retreat (press and hold to attempt an escape from battle), and repeatedly hit space bar to attack once the yellow peas are in sight. The more battles one, the more evolving the Supertrait Fighters can do!

I could not figure out what was going on :( I kept pressing space but my creatures just kept jumping and when I ran to far left I ran offscreen.

Not sure where the fighting is with this, using the mentioned "trait" attack with the space bar just resulting in both armies jumping past each other. I kept going in case there were waves, but the guys just went off screen. When the camera found the edge of the world and still no sign of my army I gave up.

I like the idea, to bad it looks like you didn't allot yourself enough time to do it. :(

What a weird game.
Well I suppose it is really buggy. Because charging forward only follows the last one army thing in the back. Once the enemy comes I can't seem to be able to fight it at all. Then suddenly the army jumps them and the enemy is gone. Going forward, my whole army is gone but the last guy in the back.

Then nothing happens at all.
I like the graphics though. And the idea to have something entered with a code? I suppose this was some kind of genetic code to enter for a special army setup or something. So one extra point if this is what it was supposed to be.

Maybe you could finish it up to show what it was supposed to be?
